Dearest Ken and Julie's Family,
This news came as a shock and I am so sad. I had always thought that Julie was one of the brave and lucky ones who had beaten this dreadful disease that has taken so many people close to my heart. Ken, you have my heartfelt sympathy and know that you are in my thoughts. Julie's family, what a blessing she was to those who knew her. My first memory was "Show of Shows". She Bev D'Angelo, and a tall girl who's name escapes me dressed like little girls and sang a really cute song and danced. Funny what you think about isn't it? Much love to you all in this sad, sad time. Find strength in the good memories and allow yourselves to cry until you're ready to stop. Goodbye sweet Julie. You are missed!

Dear Kenny,
Marie and I are deeply sorry. We'll miss her from all the functions and time we got to spend with her. It was especially nice of her (and you) to come to our house when Marie had asked for her advice when she was diagnosed. We'll always be thinking of her.

I am so glad that I had the good fortune to know Julie. She could always make me and others around her laugh. She was truly a good person, the type that don't meet often, and the type that make a difference in your life. I will always keep her in my memories and will miss her every day. Good bye Julie, I am thankful that you touched my life.

May 13, 2010

Dear Ken and Family,
Julie was always so kind to all those that she met. Julie always remembered to ask how everyone around her was doing always extending a hello to all. She was a devoted Mother and a good role model to others. She will be remembered for her quick smile and kindness to others always. We are thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.

So sad for all of you at this time. Julie was always so kind and giving...even to us "underclassmen"! She often made time to smile and visit which means a lot in life...and she never stopped doing just that..making people feel she cared!
